To the People's Commissariat of Foreign Trade; I. I. Radchenko

You have been informed by Kashirstroy that on the steamship "Frida Horn," which has become stuck in ice near Petrograd, there are 110 crates of insulators for the Kashira-Moscow power transmission line. Immediately report what measures you have taken to remove these crates from the steamship and to reroute them to Kashira. Furthermore, according to information from Kashirstroy, outside the borders of Russia there are 11,900 insulators, shipped on 7/XI from the Rosenthal factory. Taking into account the incident with the steamship "Frida Horn," it is necessary to be concerned now about a new route for shipping these insulators; moreover, as the most reliable method, they must be sent by railway with an escort to Moscow and the insulators delivered under receipt to the Kashirstroy office: Maly Cherkasskiy, Kalyazinskoye Podvorye, Kashirstroy. Immediately inform comrade Smolyaninov about the measures taken and the results.547
